Todd: OK, now Matt, you used to work in Hollywood as an actor. Can you talk about what kind of actor you were?
Matt: Sure. I acted mainly in commercial work and that is I auditioned 1 for commercials and basically in Los Angeles it's unlike any other city in the world for acting 2 and it's just so heavily centered around Hollywood and television and screen work that there isn't really a lot of work in theater so I didn't have a ton of training going in to the acting world when I entered L.A. so like many others I opted 3 just for commercial work and tried to get experience that way.
Todd: Oh, cool. So how do you actually get a gig? Tell me about the process.
Matt: It actually... It's a lot more complicated than I thought when I first got there and competitive. Basically, there are two types of actors in Los Angeles. There's union actors and non-union. And to really progress you need to be a union actor which takes getting a speaking part or doing commercial work, which took me about six months and from there becoming a SAG 4 member, screen actor's guild 5 member. You're in the union which looks a lot better on your resume to go after agents so that was my next step and after I got an agent then I was able to be sent out on auditions 6 and look for work that way.
Todd: So how did you get your first big break?
Matt: It was just by chance really. I was acting and I was doing a lot of non-speaking work on television and movies and really not progressing as fast as I wanted to and I was on a commercial for I think it was Pepsi and they liked my look and they needed an extra guy in the scene in a library and they put me in and from that thirty second spot which was shown all the East Coast of the United States I has half of my income for my first year because you get royalty 7 checks every time a commercial is shown on television. You get paid, so...
Todd: Nice.
Matt: Yeah... But from there I went back to television and movies.
Todd: Cool.
